John
11
45
Then many of the people, who had come with Mary and had seen the things Jesus did, believed in him.
46
But some of them went to the Pharisees and reported to them what Jesus had done.
47
So the chief priests and the Pharisees called the council together and said, "What are we doing? For this man is performing many miraculous signs.
48
If we allow him to go on in this way, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away our sanctuary and our nation."
49
Then one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said, "You know nothing at all!
50
You do not realize that it is more to your advantage to have one man die for the people than for the whole nation to perish."
51
(Now he did not say this on his own, but because he was high priest that year, he prophesied that Jesus was going to die for the Jewish nation,
52
and not for the Jewish nation only, but to gather together into one the children of God who are scattered.)
53
So from that day they planned together to kill him.
54
Thus Jesus no longer went around publicly among the Judeans, but went away from there to the region near the wilderness, to a town called Ephraim, and stayed there with his disciples.
55
Now the Jewish feast of Passover was near, and many people went up to Jerusalem from the rural areas before the Passover to cleanse themselves ritually.
56
Thus they were looking for Jesus, and saying to one another as they stood in the temple courts, "What do you think? That he won't come to the feast?"
57
(Now the chief priests and the Pharisees had given orders that anyone who knew where Jesus was should report it, so that they could arrest him.)
